. Step back in time to September 1924, as captured by Aurelio Monteverde's lens, and immerse yourself in the exhilarating world of water skiing on Italy's picturesque Elba Island. This black-and-white photo print, CAD-S-030016-0008, transports us to an era where daring women embraced new forms of recreation with style and grace. In this snapshot frozen in time, a young woman clad in vintage swimwear stands proudly atop her skis, defying gravity as she glides effortlessly across the shimmering sea. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of the roaring twenties – a chic one-piece swimsuit paired with a wide-brimmed hat that shields her face from both sun and spray. The contrast between her elegant ensemble and the rugged coastal landscape behind her creates a striking visual juxtaposition. Monteverde skillfully captures not only the sport itself but also its surrounding environment. The vast expanse of blue sky merges seamlessly with the sparkling azure waters below, forming an idyllic backdrop for this thrilling display of athleticism. The composition reveals not just a portrait but also hints at a larger narrative – one that celebrates human ingenuity against nature's grandeur. This photograph encapsulates more than just boating sports; it embodies freedom, adventure, and empowerment during an era when societal norms were being challenged. It invites viewers to imagine themselves partaking in such audacious activities while simultaneously appreciating their historical significance. As we gaze upon this timeless image from Alinari's collection without considering commercial use or any company affiliations associated with it, we are reminded that art has no boundaries – it transcends time and connects us to our shared human experiences.
